Plenty more content is planned for Grounded 2 and will be added during Early Access. As of this writing, we don’t have expected timelines for these upcoming features.

• Passive Mutations
• Active Mutations 2.0
• More new Buggies
• Buggy mutations, customizations, and progression.
• New creatures, bosses, and Colossi
• New weapons, armor, archetypes, and Omni-Tool upgrades
• Text support for Korean, Arabic, Thai, Polish, Traditional Chinese, Russian, and Turkish

These features should take more time for Obsidian to develop and implement. I am really looking forward to the Winter update, which should allow me to enjoy the game on my ROG Ally. If you’re already enjoying the early access, check out our recommended settings to reduce lag and frame drops.
